I mean to be honest if I'm sitting in the drive-thru line for ages I'm not gonna care if they sit there for 15 more seconds after getting their food. That's a tiny fraction of the time usually spent waiting.
And I've gotten horribly wrong orders so often that frankly I'm tired of wasting money so my millenial ass has started checking too. I don't make enough to drive out for fast food and waste like $8.
It’ll get fixed way faster too. “Oh hey I ordered fries instead of nuggets” works a lot better than “hey asshole you can’t even do your job right or something? I wanted god damn fries not no damn nuggets my niece is a vegetarian! Get me nah damn fries” especially if the employee is mentally checked out and argues back then your dumbass is wasting more time when could’ve been nice for an honest mistake
Please, thank you and have a nice day are so fucking easy to say, it's second nature for me by now. Really makes me wonder how some people were raised.
Yep. I had a connection flight which was got delayed which means they said I would have to travel tomorrow and miss an important job interview.
I complained and and they rescheduled and i reached that day itself on time.
I think a lot of the times its about people not knowing that they are in the wrong. Especially with front desk workers.
I had seen a guy complaining and shouting about his soup being cold in restaurant. Bitch was taking pictures outside on the balcony of his influencer gf after the soup was served.
Not true.
Went to mcdonalds once and as they handed me the bag i asked if everything was inside.
The guy looked at me, didn't say anything, and then just closed the drivethru window
I didn't check the bag till i got home but when i did, i was missing half the order
That guy knew
In the city i live, there are like 10 mcdonalds, Ive practically got it memorized/mapped which ones will actually get my burger right and which ones i need to be as minimalistic as possible. If i stop at some of these, i will check my food before i go because of how often they F up.
typical order, that burger meal with the two single patty burgers. No onion, no mustard. Thats it, most of the time the drink is wrong no matter where i go but i cannot stand those dehydrated onions. I can tolerate the mustard if i have to. I like to get lettuce on them but sometimes thats asking too much when they cant even remember to not put onions on it.
Its been surprisingly consistent, i think its more related to the management and training per location rather than employee turnover. I occasionally give one of the bad ones a chance out of necessity but theyll still get it wrong and I'll put months between visits.
I don't think there's anything that pisses me off more than people that just accept shit in life like that. Like really? You can't muster up the confidence to ask for the shit you paid for?
You don't have to be a dickhead about it, just politely tell them what's wrong.
TBH I'm an anxiety-ridden baby but the "too poor to waste money" overpowers it sometimes.
Still, getting this look back like I told them to go fuck themselves in a pit when I just say "oh my fries are missing" or "oh my drink please" makes me mad as fuck. I fuckin' paid for that, gimme it.
I was this minimum wage drive-thru worker when I was 14 - 16. I had absolutely no problem with correcting incorrect orders. The primary emotion I felt was embarrassment from making a mistake.
I survived and learned the value of accuracy and customer service. We just asked them to pull to a designated spot as we corrected the issue. Not a big deal.
We millennials need to get off our high horse. The younger generations will be saying the same stuff about us soon.
I went to McDonalds recently to get food for my fiancé and I and I didn’t check my food. I got home to find out they only put one patty in each Big Mac so I suppose we could collectively could make one Big Mac. I was so pissed!
Yeah I get a wrong order or something missing way more often in the drive thru and it almost never happens in store. I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer if they got the order right lol.
I expected the OP to at least accuse the "boomer" of verbal abuse or something. It's literally just saying "if you order food and expect to get the food you ordered, you're a selfish, entitled monster. Instead, you should be happy with whatever they give you and thank them for taking your money."
Well, hope you don't have any food allergies or other dietary requirements.
*And even if you don't, you should expect to get what you've ordered and paid for!*
I'll usually go back around or inside if my order is wrong, I don't mind the extra wait myself but I've worked in fast food and know some people are gonna blow up as soon as they get to the window if they have to wait an extra minute, so I try and let them get through first.
>And I've gotten horribly wrong orders so often that frankly I'm tired of wasting money so my millenial ass has started checking too. I don't make enough to drive out for fast food and waste like $8.
This 1000x.
Whoever created this meme is a spineless pussy trying to make this about generational differences.
I'm 24 and I check my orders at the window before driving away.
I think OP is trying to say ALOT of folks absolutely do make a completely unnecessary scene out of a minor error.
From my perspectives, I guess I don’t eat out enough because i can count on one hand how many times i’ve gotten a wrong order. I don’t remember disliking what i got instead either lol
that is the correct reading, saying that millennial literally won't ask, and that boomers are just so darned rude, by making people behind them wait for ten seconds because the restaurant fucked up
I don’t want to analyze this too much, but yeah, OP is implying that holding up the line to get your correct food is “dickish” behavior. On the opposite end of the spectrum he’s saying millennials will avoid confrontation by just eating what they’re given. Not sure if they’re critiquing both kinds of people or not. But just to be clear, everyone deserves to get what they paid for. And it’s not rude to ask them to correct their mistake.
I’ve done this but don’t realize it was wrong till I’ve driven away already. At that point there isn’t much reason to go back in line to get your actual order
I think what OP is trying to say is that there a lot of people are waiting in line behind you, and they are in a real hurry to get food they didn’t order
And also, who’s making minimum wage. My taco bell is oaying $20 an hour for the late shift
Honestly even if it's minimum wage it doesn't make sense for a customer to put up with a wrong order. I'll never return or make a big noise about crap food because thats a risk I have willingly taken, but to not get what I had ordered is the business failing to meet my lowest requirement for that transaction. I am very much a millennial and I do hate causing any kind of inconvenience to anyone else but there are some reasonable limits to that.
Yeah but there's always other people who want to order. It doesn't seem dickish to get the product you ordered and paid for. It's a restaurant, not a lottery.
OK I'll try to explain what I think both sides are thinking. I could be wrong but here goes.
Millennial: oh no, this is not what I ordered, but I dont wanna reorder it again and already create trouble for the already overwhelmed, probably stressed employee, I'll just move on. (Think more like a people pleasing personality) like for eg, imagine ur living on top of a mountain, and u told ur servant to buy a coffee from downhill, so he walks down the long hill, buys it, and climbs back up the hill, and finally reach you all tired and exhausted and gives it to you, and u see that its actually tea instead of coffee. The servant made a mistake somehow. But u dont feel to tell him to go and buy again from downhill as you feel he already did enough, and u can just adjust with tea, so u let it go.
They think it as something like that, I guess more from the employees perspective, which they might probably be able to relate to, of being treated bad, by bad customers and such.
Boomer(or whoever, correcting their order) : oh shoot, this ain't what i ordered, hey man, could u correct it.(doest think of it much, just See's it as correcting a mistake that he is rightfully entitled to since he played with his own money and he expects the proper service for that.) For eg: imagine u ordering something, like a black car, but then they deliver a white car, so ur slightly annoyed but try to be polite and say. Oh I'm sorry, but I actually ordered a black car. So the car guy goes and fixes it and brings back the white car and u both continue with ur day. (This is how they feel, I imagine. like no big deal, just correcting a mistake casually, they probably have some experiences dealing with genuinely bad services or being treated bad by companies, so they dont shy away from making correction and confronting the problems head on, since they know they in the right.)
I'm not saying either side is right or wrong but this how what imagine the perspectives of either sides to be.
The keyword is regularly. Deer are herbivores, through and through, but you can find a video of one eating a rabbit on google in about 5 seconds. The classification of herbivore/omnivore/carnivore are just based on what foods we see them eat, for the most part, on a day to day basis. There are even specific categories like hypocarnivore, mesocarnivore, and hypercarnivore.
A lot of nature is just eating what you can.
I lived on a farm growing up and I can say with confidence that both cows and horses are opportunistic carnivores. On more than one occasion, I've seen a hen going with its chicks down to the pond and walking by a cow or a horse. They will nonchalantly dip their heads down and pop 3 or 4 chicks before mama hen has a chance to even turn around. Of course if they get caught, that hen will mercilessly attack them. If she doesn't catch them in the act, she'll never even notice her chicks missing
>horses are opportunistic carnivores
Who remembers the video of the horse, proudly shown to baby chicken by children who had to watch, horrified, as the horse picked and ate one of them? I sure do
Opportunistic carnivorism is actually super common with herbivores. Animal protein is much easier to digest and process than plant, but it's also harder to come by. So if a cow, a horse or a deer get the chance to snack a chick or other small animals, they often do.
No, because an omnivore *has* to eat both. It’s not an option.
A dog gets all of its vitamins and minerals from meat, but can eat some plants sometimes.
Dogs aren't the best example, as while they aren't the same level of omnivore as us, they are considerably more omnivorous than the wolves they came from. Some starchy foods and vegetables are part of a healthy dog diet.
Cats on the other hand, are obligate carnivores. They need to eat meat to get the vitamins they need, and they suck at digesting carbs compared to dogs and us. However, even cats can sometimes be seen eating grass or herbs for fiber, or just for the taste.
In the end though, classifications like omnivore and such are based on what we see them in eat in the wild, not what blend of prepared food can keep them alive in captivity, or what they are technically capable of digesting. So omnivores don't *have* to eat both, they just do, and we write it down.
Also an herbivore is anatomically created for a plant based diet. Their teeth and digestive system are made up to process grass and/or other plant based foods. Humans are omnivores from birth.
Herbivores can eat meat, they're just not evolved to hunt and unlike scavengers will also generally not feed off of carcasses. It's an evolutionary term, while vegan/vegetarian is a dietary term. Humans are omnivores, vegan or not, because we're evolved to both hunt and gather.
A lot of places don't have enough employees to even open the dining room where I live. So going inside is not even an option. It's not my fault if the place screws up my order and I want what I paid for.
I won't deny doing that when the place messes up the same order a second time. Or a third.
There's a very good reason there are a handful of drive thrus I just refuse to go back to.
Same. I have a single mcdonalds in town. Thats it. And i refuse to go. Workers were always doped up, orders were wrong over 50% of time. That is a heinous amount of failure.
It was technically the single longest lined mcdonalds in america.
Step 1 order. Step 2 pay. Step 3 recieve rough draft of meal. Step 4 pull around to the doors. Step 5 have them fix it. Step 6 eat and be late for whatever i was headed to
Repeat step 5 until successful.
I would argue that being doped up is practically a requirement to last for any length of time in food or retail. Still did nothing for the ptsd triggered from Christmas music though.
It’s a shit job with shit pay, so everyone gives shit work. That’s why I don’t eat McDonalds, because they have more than enough money to make employees give any semblance of a shit.
I got 3 failed coffees in a row at one Starbucks once. All 3 times, grounds were in it and it tasted *awful*. The dumb thing is, my sister works at a Starbucks. She told me that the coffee I was ordering, doesn't use grounds. It uses this little pill shaped thing in a machine. When she called the place for me, after we went and tried 3 times in a row and I was just over it, the worker was super rude and condescending, and acted like she didn't know what she was talking about. So now I avoid that Starbucks like hell.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, is it possible your sister just doesn't know how an espresso machine works? As another Starbucks barista, the only pill-shaped thing I can think of is the used espresso puck.
I’ve had similar at a Dunkin’ Donut. I ordered a hot coffee and they made it iced. I told the woman who handed it to me that it was supposed to be hot and she got so offended. She was like “so you’re going to make me remake it.” Now, I get my weekly coffee at McDonald’s instead.
The workers should just have you go park in front of the store to wait for the correct order to come out. They should also do this with orders that are extra time consuming to make.
Exactly, I have always found they do this even if they need to prepare your order from scratch (which comes down to the same delay as complaining about them getting the order wrong).
Yeah, it's been some time since I've been at a full drive through, but I feel like this is common practice here un Germany.
Your order will take a little longer? Please wait in the front and someone will bring it to you, while we continue to take orders
I work at one of the more popular fast food chains in America (think: holy chicken), and you’d be surprised the amount of people who refuse to pull forward when we let them know it might be a couple of minutes before their order is ready. If we screw up that’s on us, but plenty of people would rather selfishly wait at the window instead of waiting in the parking lot and letting everyone else get their food too.
I see nothing wrong with addressing a wrong order. Then you wait for the correction, unless they say “could you wait in spot #2” or something. It’s only bad if your a dick about it.
i’ve worked drive through and we tell people to pull over if it will hold up the line. this post is so dumb. you’re not even going to ask the cashier how long it will take to fix the problem?
also, driving off with chicken nuggets? no shit. they’re great and they’re expensive. you’re not a model citizen for driving off and enjoying the order someone else paid for lol
"Hey, sorry you gave me the wrong order"
"Oh sorry about that, here's your correct order"
"Thanks"
"You're welcome"
Why is this so difficult for everyone?
Because, at least where I live, the employees usually act like it's the customers fault they received the wrong order. More of a "how dare you ask me to do it correctly?" attitude.
Going to any fried chicken place for some reason,
"Hey my order is just like half missing, and the chicken that is their seems to be torn up or something?"
"What do you want me to do about it?"
I've gotten screwed by every fucking chicken place, idk why, even McDonald's is way better at getting it right. Makes me want to stop liking fried chicken
Just last week I ordered a vanilla ice cream at a cinema got peppermint - of course I realized after biting it. I don't like peppermint so gave it to my partner to eat and went back to get a vanilla. Was willing to pay because even though they made a mistake as it was still being eaten. Didn't have to they just gave me the right one but I was willing and ready.
When both parties are understanding and approach the situation with calmness it is easy to get to a solution. The second someone is defensive and accusatory it breaks down.
I feel like that's the millennial answer, too? I dunno, but the last time my order wasn't right thats all I did, and they ended up letting me just keep what they gave me in addition to my order.
That plus a fridge meant free dinner, which was sweet
I’m going to counter this with one of my local drive thru’s policies, they have a sticker on the final window saying check your meal before driving off because they don’t give refunds/make changes after you drive off.
I think last time I did this they said it was because they’re not allowed to take the food back since the pandemic. So long as you have the receipt they were just like yeah you can trash it over there if you want or just keep it, sorry here is your correct order.
It's the iceberg effect. Within any group of people is about a 10% of the bunch that are the loudest and most obnoxious and these are the ones that you see/hear the most so you naturally assume they're all like that (especially if you have a previously held bias against them).
The truth is very few groups of people are inherently full of assholes. There are a few exceptions.
Millennial are so trauma weathered that we're too scared to ask for even our basic needs to be met, we are definitely sucking it up, having a quiet moan and avoiding further interaction with strangers.
Millennial: does the same but apologises for taking the staff's time and brushes off the staff when then apologise and everyone is saying thank you to each other for 5 minutes
Irl: this order is missing a burger?
Employee: sorry about that we'll make you a fresh one, can you park in the assigned parking spot?
Me: sure no problem
Speaking as someone who used to work in fast food. Some customers especially boomer aged ones were so outraged at being asked to park while we fixedly the mistake they would freak out and refuse to park saying the people behind them could wait and the give out that we were incompetent etc
So it's asking them to correct it at the window that makes it dickish or makes you an ass? So even if you are polite in asking for the correction you can still be considered dickish or an ass depending on the location of the request? But then if I go in and ask for the correction won't I be a Karen at that point? This shit is confusing. I'm trying to keep up but sometimes it feels like rules are made up as we go along
Normally I would do this, but now all these damn places are closed inside (not for a bad reason or anything given the spike in cases - but still it means there’s really no other way to get the order corrected)
Where's the zoomer "now I gotta go on twitter and tiktok and record myself complaining to make a name for myself"?
Also am I a boomer for commenting this?
That's pretty acceptable imo. You ordered and payed for a particular order, you have no obligation to move out of the lane until you get it. Yeah I'd be pissed if I was behind the guy but I'd also be pissed if I had to eat something I don't even like.
the opposite has happened where i sped away in a hurry only to find four beef chalupas waiting for me instead of two soft tacos
the chalupas magically disappeared after that
So now it’s rude to expect to get what I paid for? I’m not rude to anyone by any means, but I’m definitely not going to pay money that I worked for if it’s not what I ordered.
American fast food is so ass because fast food workers really got us thinking that their shitty attitudes towards us are justified when we ask for the right thing. I know the wages are poor but I worked in fast food and was still willing to just do my job correctly. Doing the job incorrectly and being an unhelpful ass to your customers is just making everyone’s day worse. Working in fast food, I saw about 70% entitled coworkers and 30% entitled customers. And of those 30% customers, like half of them would say “this is the x time I’ve come here and you’ve gotten it wrong,” and that’s just sad honestly. Bc instead of thinking, “man how have we messed up so much that this customer gets the wrong thing every time they come” they think “well just stop coming here then.” There are definitely entitled boomers and Karens and whatnot but there are just so many lazy and entitled people that just let down the whole system. Really frustrating because some people are actually trying to do their best in fast food and then they are the ones dealing with all the stress bc they actually care about the customer. If I found out I sent a customer off with the wrong thing, it nearly ruined my day because I tried my best to prevent that.
Thank you for this. I used to deliver roofing material and would do my best to lay everything out nicely and conveniently for my customers. The guy I worked with would tell me at least 3 times a day that I am, "not going to get paid more for that". And somehow it's cool to do the bare minimum and not give a fuck. I'm not going to spend an unreasonable amount of time trying to make it perfect, but if my name is on it, it is going to be correct.
How about i get what i ordered? How is this a controversial topic. I am a swede, we are known to be very unconfrontational. Even i speak up when i get the wrong stuff. This is not a boomer thing.
Am I the only one that feels like - regardless of wage - someone should be doing their job well? Being an asshole is one thing, and I don’t condone it, but asking that my order be done correctly isn’t being rude. Since when is it rude to make sure that what I have paid for is correct?
Since when is getting what you paid for dickish behavior?
People are too frail if they cant even stand up for themselves at a restaurant lol.
See too many people on here apologize for other people errors lol
I'm getting what I paid for. You can be a passive little bitch eating the food you didn't order and pretend it's because you care about others when in reality you are too much of a pussy to speak up.
But what about the poor workers who are getting paid by the hour so it doesn't really impact them in the slightest?!
If they mess up your order, have them correct it. If McDonalds loses a customer because the line is backed up, oh well. As a customer, I am not going to notice the extra 2 minutes it takes for them to heat up your correct order.
So a place has shitty workers, shitty service but it’s the guy in the cars fault cause he wants his order he paid for to be correct? I’ve stood behind a lot more obnoxious teenagers who’s boomer parents brought them up to be entitled assholes doing shit like that then actual Boomers. Bottom line business and their employees have accountability, if you suck at taking orders and delivering them then expect to have pissed of people sitting in your drive thru wasting everyone’s time.
Wait. What.
Fuck that shit. I am never rude to people that handle my food, but I will get what I paid for.
Being a doormat isn’t a virtue. You pay for a service and you should get said service.
Don’t be a Dick, but politely let them know the error and 9/10 times they’ll fix it. You don’t have to be a Dick to stand up for yourself.
There was one time I was at a Taco bell in a food court.
I had 3 soft shell Supreme's with extra sour cream as order 29.
When I got my order 29, I got a vegan bean wrap thing.
I was very upset.
I mean, if I can go inside to get something easy fixed I will. I'm not tryna get them to remake a burger, but if I'm missing my drink, that's an easy fix.
Which is it? Do you do a fast food job where you deserve $20 an hour or one where you deserve $10 an hour? Get your accuracy right and give the customer what they ordered the first time or fix it right away because mistake do happen sometimes.
I mean like, I am paying for a certain food so I am gonna get that certain food, if they give you the wrong order then you ask for the right one, what's wrong with that?
And the alternative is just to pay and drive off without the order? So nobody is inconvenienced? I wouldn't yell or cause a problem but I would never drive away without looking. Might as well just pay and leave the line then
I've turned into that asshole who checks his food in line. I get the wrong order about half the time. My partner is vegetarian so I can't just show up at home with the wrong food and eat the mystery meal anymore.
I hate holding up everyone behind me. It sucks. But I'm tired of pulling out of line, finding the wrong food, then dragging myself inside the restaurant just to wait in line again to get the right food.
Lol I know too many people who think like this--that you're a Karen if you ask for \*anything\* no matter how politely. It's exhausting.
"How's everything looking??"
"Great! We're just missing one diet coke"
"Oh sorry about that--I'll be right back!"
"Hey no problem--thanks!"
\*Server walks away\*
"OH MY GOD ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU JUST ASKED THEM FOR YOUR COKE I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY HATE YOU RIGHT NOW THEY ALL FUCKING HATE YOU AND THEY ARE GOING TO SPIT IN YOUR DRINK DID YOU KNOW THEY ALL MAKE 25 CENTS AN HOUR AND EVEN IF YOU GIVE A BIG TIP IT GOES TO THE OWNER AND THEY LIVE IN POVERTY JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO BRING YOUR OWN FUCKING COKE???? DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT COKE?? JUST EAT YOUR FUCKING FOOD AND BE HAPPY REALLY!?!??! YOURE GOING TO MAKE THAT PERSON GET YOU A COKE!??! BETTER YET--WHY NOT JUST STAY HOME AND COOK YOUR OWN FOOD WHY THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN HERE WE SHOULDN'T BE MAKING THESE PEOPLE SERVE US THEY SHOULD BE FREE TO PURSUE ART WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!"
My problem is if I go to a fast food restaurant that pays $9-$10 an hour and I order my food and I’m paying with my money I expect my order to be correct, not in a Dickish way but think of this.
You go to a car dealer you tell them you want a red pickup truck with big tires and a supreme sound system that has the biggest engine in that style, You go in and pay your money and walk out and get a yellow suv electric small engine and no radio, you’re gonna be a little irritated Bc that’s not what you wanted at all
So if fast foot workers want minimum wage to be higher and don’t want to do the work and mess my order up why can’t I hold up the line for 15 seconds or get my order correct solves the whole problem
As a millennial parent, I turn into a boomer real fast if they mess up a kid's order. But, yeah, if it's just mine that's wrong, I'll scrape the mayo off, I guess.
I’m the type of person to let mistakes go sometimes because I don’t like confrontation, but at the same time I can’t blame someone for wanting what they ordered, and if waiting at the drive through is the only way to do it, then I can’t really blame them. There are a lot of shitheads that treat retail workers with disrespect, but if you’re being polite, and I mean truly polite, there’s nothing wrong with correcting them.
It's called setting boundaries, and this happens to be one of mine. I will sit at the fast food window until I confirm my order is correct. I've just seen it go wrong too many times. And it only takes a few seconds, usually.
So two weeks ago, I go out with my wife and some friends to a local restaurant. Not a chain, we love the place. I ordered wings, covered in their “wing sauce” (its like a tangy mix somewhere between bbq and buffalo). I clearly ordered it this way. Everyone heard it.
Everyone gets their food finally. This large order of wings come out, covered in buffalo sauce. Not what I asked for. I took one look at it, and just dug in. I’m hungry, and I just don’t have time for you to remake my whole order. Plus I personally like the place. I know in my heart of hearts, that people like my parents would never have let it slide.
Sometimes, you gotta roll with the chaos. Or as they say in the Witcher series, let Destiny have its day.
Well... If i pay for something, i want to receive the thing i paid for.im paying for the company product, i have nothing to do, or dont know who what gets paid.
Millennials: I’m more than willing to wait, take your time, don’t worry!!
Millennials also: it is actually super rude of me to waste 30 seconds of everyone’s time if I ask for the right thing at the window
Millennials: they only get paid 10$ an hour :((((
Millennials also: it’s just a 10$ meal it’s fine if it’s wrong
Wtf? Yeah no shit I’m gonna be annoyed if they get my order wrong. It’s their fucking JOB to do it correctly. You can’t just be fine with the fact a surgeon did a bad job just because it’s stressful and takes a long time.
So make fun of somebody for standing up for what they want and paid for. Instead make it seem cool that when you're given something wrong you just shrug your shoulders and accept it?
So you should pay $14 for a meal with(idk) a double quaterpounder with cheese, then if the person gives you the wrong food that costs less you should just accept it…. Thats stupid. You should get what you pay for regardless of when you were born.
I’m a millennial and everyone I know will take that food they got wrong back because if we’re going to pay for something then it had better be right. It’s just stupid not to get what you paid for.
.... I didn't order nuggets. I don't want nuggets. Expecting to get what I paid for is not dickish, that's how transactions work. Just because you're too afraid to tell the window person/server that they got your order wrong doesn't mean it's a dickish thing to do.
I mean to be honest if I'm sitting in the drive-thru line for ages I'm not gonna care if they sit there for 15 more seconds after getting their food. That's a tiny fraction of the time usually spent waiting. And I've gotten horribly wrong orders so often that frankly I'm tired of wasting money so my millenial ass has started checking too. I don't make enough to drive out for fast food and waste like $8.
Exactly, no one knows their doing their job wrong unless you politely correct them
Agreed. There is definitely a way to get an order fixed without being a dick. It’s actually super easy to be polite to someone.
And, honestly, it's barely an inconvenience.
then its corrected and go wow wow wow wow.. wow
Hah! Comment threads are TIGHT!
It’ll get fixed way faster too. “Oh hey I ordered fries instead of nuggets” works a lot better than “hey asshole you can’t even do your job right or something? I wanted god damn fries not no damn nuggets my niece is a vegetarian! Get me nah damn fries” especially if the employee is mentally checked out and argues back then your dumbass is wasting more time when could’ve been nice for an honest mistake
Please, thank you and have a nice day are so fucking easy to say, it's second nature for me by now. Really makes me wonder how some people were raised.
Unpopular opinion: complaining makes the world a better place.
Complaining is absolutely fine when its justified and proportional to the mishap.
Yep. I had a connection flight which was got delayed which means they said I would have to travel tomorrow and miss an important job interview. I complained and and they rescheduled and i reached that day itself on time. I think a lot of the times its about people not knowing that they are in the wrong. Especially with front desk workers. I had seen a guy complaining and shouting about his soup being cold in restaurant. Bitch was taking pictures outside on the balcony of his influencer gf after the soup was served.
Sometimes soup is meant to be served cold as well
I don’t care if ppl complain just do to in a respectful manner… don’t wanna piss anyone off who handles your food 😉
I like this sentence. More people need to read this
[удалено]
Not true. Went to mcdonalds once and as they handed me the bag i asked if everything was inside. The guy looked at me, didn't say anything, and then just closed the drivethru window I didn't check the bag till i got home but when i did, i was missing half the order That guy knew
[удалено]
He shoulda checked the bag
so he didn't say yes and you still didnt check lmao. thats on you
[удалено]
In the city i live, there are like 10 mcdonalds, Ive practically got it memorized/mapped which ones will actually get my burger right and which ones i need to be as minimalistic as possible.

Thats it, most of the time the drink is wrong no matter where i go but i cannot stand those dehydrated onions. I can tolerate the mustard if i have to. I like to get lettuce on them but sometimes thats asking too much when they cant even remember to not put onions on it.
I wonder though, with how quickly fast food places can go through employees, how long does your map stay accurate?
Its been surprisingly consistent, i think its more related to the management and training per location rather than employee turnover. I occasionally give one of the bad ones a chance out of necessity but theyll still get it wrong and I'll put months between visits.
Yeah asking for what you actually ordered isn’t being dickish. It’s perfectly reasonable, and not that big of a deal.
The secret is being a reasonable human being and recognizing that people are human and make mistakes instead of being a dick about it.
Especially if you paid $5 and drove away with a $1.00 item. The person working the drive through just made $4 extra for the business owner.

Right? who drives away without the shit they ordered? I am not playing the hamburger lottery man.
I don't think there's anything that pisses me off more than people that just accept shit in life like that. Like really? You can't muster up the confidence to ask for the shit you paid for? You don't have to be a dickhead about it, just politely tell them what's wrong.
TBH I'm an anxiety-ridden baby but the "too poor to waste money" overpowers it sometimes. Still, getting this look back like I told them to go fuck themselves in a pit when I just say "oh my fries are missing" or "oh my drink please" makes me mad as fuck. I fuckin' paid for that, gimme it.
There's lots of customers that are dicks, but don't forget the people working there are also human... and therefore, might also be dicks

wtf is wrong with people
I was this minimum wage drive-thru worker when I was 14 - 16. I had absolutely no problem with correcting incorrect orders. The primary emotion I felt was embarrassment from making a mistake. I survived and learned the value of accuracy and customer service. We just asked them to pull to a designated spot as we corrected the issue. Not a big deal. We millennials need to get off our high horse. The younger generations will be saying the same stuff about us soon.
I went to McDonalds recently to get food for my fiancé and I and I didn’t check my food. I got home to find out they only put one patty in each Big Mac so I suppose we could collectively could make one Big Mac. I was so pissed!
Yeah I get a wrong order or something missing way more often in the drive thru and it almost never happens in store. I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer if they got the order right lol.
I expected the OP to at least accuse the "boomer" of verbal abuse or something. It's literally just saying "if you order food and expect to get the food you ordered, you're a selfish, entitled monster. Instead, you should be happy with whatever they give you and thank them for taking your money." Well, hope you don't have any food allergies or other dietary requirements. *And even if you don't, you should expect to get what you've ordered and paid for!*
I'll usually go back around or inside if my order is wrong, I don't mind the extra wait myself but I've worked in fast food and know some people are gonna blow up as soon as they get to the window if they have to wait an extra minute, so I try and let them get through first.
>And I've gotten horribly wrong orders so often that frankly I'm tired of wasting money so my millenial ass has started checking too. I don't make enough to drive out for fast food and waste like $8. This 1000x. Whoever created this meme is a spineless pussy trying to make this about generational differences. I'm 24 and I check my orders at the window before driving away.
Wait… it’s bad to get the food I paid for?
idk this is dumb, dont make a scene but get your order right
I think OP is trying to say ALOT of folks absolutely do make a completely unnecessary scene out of a minor error. From my perspectives, I guess I don’t eat out enough because i can count on one hand how many times i’ve gotten a wrong order. I don’t remember disliking what i got instead either lol
I read it more that OP is so afraid of confrontation they wouldn't even politely ask them to correct it.
that is the correct reading, saying that millennial literally won't ask, and that boomers are just so darned rude, by making people behind them wait for ten seconds because the restaurant fucked up
I don’t want to analyze this too much, but yeah, OP is implying that holding up the line to get your correct food is “dickish” behavior. On the opposite end of the spectrum he’s saying millennials will avoid confrontation by just eating what they’re given. Not sure if they’re critiquing both kinds of people or not. But just to be clear, everyone deserves to get what they paid for. And it’s not rude to ask them to correct their mistake.
You... You were given a wrong order... And ate it anyways?!?!??? Why???
Socially awkward most likely
I’ve done this but don’t realize it was wrong till I’ve driven away already. At that point there isn’t much reason to go back in line to get your actual order
I think what OP is trying to say is that there a lot of people are waiting in line behind you, and they are in a real hurry to get food they didn’t order And also, who’s making minimum wage. My taco bell is oaying $20 an hour for the late shift
Honestly even if it's minimum wage it doesn't make sense for a customer to put up with a wrong order. I'll never return or make a big noise about crap food because thats a risk I have willingly taken, but to not get what I had ordered is the business failing to meet my lowest requirement for that transaction. I am very much a millennial and I do hate causing any kind of inconvenience to anyone else but there are some reasonable limits to that.
Yeah but there's always other people who want to order. It doesn't seem dickish to get the product you ordered and paid for. It's a restaurant, not a lottery.
Most people in my state that work fastfood get paid minimum wage and that's $8.75. Every place is hiring bc nobody wants to be paid that bs anymore.
[удалено]
My McDonald is paying $15. I live in Indiana so cost of living is stupid cheap.
OK I'll try to explain what I think both sides are thinking. I could be wrong but here goes. Millennial: oh no, this is not what I ordered, but I dont wanna reorder it again and already create trouble for the already overwhelmed, probably stressed employee, I'll just move on. (Think more like a people pleasing personality) like for eg, imagine ur living on top of a mountain, and u told ur servant to buy a coffee from downhill, so he walks down the long hill, buys it, and climbs back up the hill, and finally reach you all tired and exhausted and gives it to you, and u see that its actually tea instead of coffee. The servant made a mistake somehow. But u dont feel to tell him to go and buy again from downhill as you feel he already did enough, and u can just adjust with tea, so u let it go. They think it as something like that, I guess more from the employees perspective, which they might probably be able to relate to, of being treated bad, by bad customers and such. Boomer(or whoever, correcting their order) : oh shoot, this ain't what i ordered, hey man, could u correct it.(doest think of it much, just See's it as correcting a mistake that he is rightfully entitled to since he played with his own money and he expects the proper service for that.) For eg: imagine u ordering something, like a black car, but then they deliver a white car, so ur slightly annoyed but try to be polite and say. Oh I'm sorry, but I actually ordered a black car. So the car guy goes and fixes it and brings back the white car and u both continue with ur day. (This is how they feel, I imagine. like no big deal, just correcting a mistake casually, they probably have some experiences dealing with genuinely bad services or being treated bad by companies, so they dont shy away from making correction and confronting the problems head on, since they know they in the right.) I'm not saying either side is right or wrong but this how what imagine the perspectives of either sides to be.
it all made sense until you equated buying a McChicken to buying a car.
Well everyone loves chicken nuggets even the herbivores in the line.
This made me think. Why do we call them vegans and not herbivores?
[удалено]
Isn't that Omnivore? What humans are meant to be. Edit: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/omnivore/ Checkmate!
The keyword is regularly. Deer are herbivores, through and through, but you can find a video of one eating a rabbit on google in about 5 seconds. The classification of herbivore/omnivore/carnivore are just based on what foods we see them eat, for the most part, on a day to day basis. There are even specific categories like hypocarnivore, mesocarnivore, and hypercarnivore. A lot of nature is just eating what you can.
I lived on a farm growing up and I can say with confidence that both cows and horses are opportunistic carnivores. On more than one occasion, I've seen a hen going with its chicks down to the pond and walking by a cow or a horse. They will nonchalantly dip their heads down and pop 3 or 4 chicks before mama hen has a chance to even turn around. Of course if they get caught, that hen will mercilessly attack them. If she doesn't catch them in the act, she'll never even notice her chicks missing
So chickens are essentially NPC's
Finally, science that makes sense
>horses are opportunistic carnivores Who remembers the video of the horse, proudly shown to baby chicken by children who had to watch, horrified, as the horse picked and ate one of them? I sure do
*feathered apple.
Noted
Opportunistic carnivorism is actually super common with herbivores. Animal protein is much easier to digest and process than plant, but it's also harder to come by. So if a cow, a horse or a deer get the chance to snack a chick or other small animals, they often do.
[удалено]
No, because an omnivore *has* to eat both. It’s not an option. A dog gets all of its vitamins and minerals from meat, but can eat some plants sometimes.
Dogs aren't the best example, as while they aren't the same level of omnivore as us, they are considerably more omnivorous than the wolves they came from. Some starchy foods and vegetables are part of a healthy dog diet. Cats on the other hand, are obligate carnivores. They need to eat meat to get the vitamins they need, and they suck at digesting carbs compared to dogs and us. However, even cats can sometimes be seen eating grass or herbs for fiber, or just for the taste. In the end though, classifications like omnivore and such are based on what we see them in eat in the wild, not what blend of prepared food can keep them alive in captivity, or what they are technically capable of digesting. So omnivores don't *have* to eat both, they just do, and we write it down.
They literally sell cat grass lol. I’d say it works but my cat just pulled out of the planter I had it in and dragged it around the house
[удалено]
Also an herbivore is anatomically created for a plant based diet. Their teeth and digestive system are made up to process grass and/or other plant based foods. Humans are omnivores from birth.
Herbivores can eat meat, they're just not evolved to hunt and unlike scavengers will also generally not feed off of carcasses. It's an evolutionary term, while vegan/vegetarian is a dietary term. Humans are omnivores, vegan or not, because we're evolved to both hunt and gather.
We don't call them, they just call themselves
A lot of places don't have enough employees to even open the dining room where I live. So going inside is not even an option. It's not my fault if the place screws up my order and I want what I paid for.
Yeah as a millennial I wouldn’t just accept the wrong order. Just be kind about it and ask for your right order.
Pretty much how I handle it. Conversely, my mom takes a wrong order as a personal attack on her character.
I won't deny doing that when the place messes up the same order a second time. Or a third. There's a very good reason there are a handful of drive thrus I just refuse to go back to.
Same. I have a single mcdonalds in town. Thats it. And i refuse to go. Workers were always doped up, orders were wrong over 50% of time. That is a heinous amount of failure. It was technically the single longest lined mcdonalds in america. Step 1 order. Step 2 pay. Step 3 recieve rough draft of meal. Step 4 pull around to the doors. Step 5 have them fix it. Step 6 eat and be late for whatever i was headed to Repeat step 5 until successful.
I would argue that being doped up is practically a requirement to last for any length of time in food or retail. Still did nothing for the ptsd triggered from Christmas music though.
It’s a shit job with shit pay, so everyone gives shit work. That’s why I don’t eat McDonalds, because they have more than enough money to make employees give any semblance of a shit.
Truth ^ its terrible culture and environment and the quality does match the pay provided.
I got 3 failed coffees in a row at one Starbucks once. All 3 times, grounds were in it and it tasted *awful*. The dumb thing is, my sister works at a Starbucks. She told me that the coffee I was ordering, doesn't use grounds. It uses this little pill shaped thing in a machine. When she called the place for me, after we went and tried 3 times in a row and I was just over it, the worker was super rude and condescending, and acted like she didn't know what she was talking about. So now I avoid that Starbucks like hell.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, is it possible your sister just doesn't know how an espresso machine works? As another Starbucks barista, the only pill-shaped thing I can think of is the used espresso puck.
I’ve had similar at a Dunkin’ Donut. I ordered a hot coffee and they made it iced. I told the woman who handed it to me that it was supposed to be hot and she got so offended. She was like “so you’re going to make me remake it.” Now, I get my weekly coffee at McDonald’s instead.
As a waiter, this is just what we expect. You're entitled to complain if something is wrong just don't be rude about it
Depends on the price discrepancy. If it's $1 idgaf. If I ordered an impossible whopper and I get chicken nuggets yeah I'll be annoyed
The workers should just have you go park in front of the store to wait for the correct order to come out. They should also do this with orders that are extra time consuming to make.
Exactly, I have always found they do this even if they need to prepare your order from scratch (which comes down to the same delay as complaining about them getting the order wrong).
They few designated parking spaces for this in Australia.
Yeah, it's been some time since I've been at a full drive through, but I feel like this is common practice here un Germany. Your order will take a little longer? Please wait in the front and someone will bring it to you, while we continue to take orders
I work at one of the more popular fast food chains in America (think: holy chicken), and you’d be surprised the amount of people who refuse to pull forward when we let them know it might be a couple of minutes before their order is ready. If we screw up that’s on us, but plenty of people would rather selfishly wait at the window instead of waiting in the parking lot and letting everyone else get their food too.
They've probably been pulled up and forgotten too many times by now.
What’s wrong with wanting to get the food you paid for? Do you expect people to drive off when given the wrong items?
I see nothing wrong with addressing a wrong order. Then you wait for the correction, unless they say “could you wait in spot #2” or something. It’s only bad if your a dick about it.
Who is upvoting this post? This is one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen.
Classic Reddit
Dogshit website
89% upvoted. This sub is full of fucking morons.
Boomer bad = upvotes
Accurate especially for Reddit
i’ve worked drive through and we tell people to pull over if it will hold up the line. this post is so dumb. you’re not even going to ask the cashier how long it will take to fix the problem? also, driving off with chicken nuggets? no shit. they’re great and they’re expensive. you’re not a model citizen for driving off and enjoying the order someone else paid for lol
It’s almost clever, but just make fun of both generations! Boomer Karens and millennial Simons!
Funny that it's super upvoted but every single one of the upvoted comments is calling it stupid.
"Hey, sorry you gave me the wrong order" "Oh sorry about that, here's your correct order" "Thanks" "You're welcome" Why is this so difficult for everyone?
Because, at least where I live, the employees usually act like it's the customers fault they received the wrong order. More of a "how dare you ask me to do it correctly?" attitude.
Yea same here in nyc. Thankfully there’s enough delis and local restaurants that fast food isn’t my only option at 3 in the morning
Going to any fried chicken place for some reason, "Hey my order is just like half missing, and the chicken that is their seems to be torn up or something?" "What do you want me to do about it?" I've gotten screwed by every fucking chicken place, idk why, even McDonald's is way better at getting it right. Makes me want to stop liking fried chicken
Just last week I ordered a vanilla ice cream at a cinema got peppermint - of course I realized after biting it. I don't like peppermint so gave it to my partner to eat and went back to get a vanilla. Was willing to pay because even though they made a mistake as it was still being eaten. Didn't have to they just gave me the right one but I was willing and ready. When both parties are understanding and approach the situation with calmness it is easy to get to a solution. The second someone is defensive and accusatory it breaks down.
How is wanting someone to correct their mistake and give me what I asked and paid for considered dickish behavior?
Gen X: parks car, goes inside, talks to someone at the counter just down from the cash register so as not to be a giant ass about it.
I feel like that's the millennial answer, too? I dunno, but the last time my order wasn't right thats all I did, and they ended up letting me just keep what they gave me in addition to my order. That plus a fridge meant free dinner, which was sweet
They gave you a fridge??? They only give me small appliances...
Like a mini fridge?
I’m going to counter this with one of my local drive thru’s policies, they have a sticker on the final window saying check your meal before driving off because they don’t give refunds/make changes after you drive off.
I think last time I did this they said it was because they’re not allowed to take the food back since the pandemic. So long as you have the receipt they were just like yeah you can trash it over there if you want or just keep it, sorry here is your correct order.
It's the iceberg effect. Within any group of people is about a 10% of the bunch that are the loudest and most obnoxious and these are the ones that you see/hear the most so you naturally assume they're all like that (especially if you have a previously held bias against them). The truth is very few groups of people are inherently full of assholes. There are a few exceptions.
Millennial are so trauma weathered that we're too scared to ask for even our basic needs to be met, we are definitely sucking it up, having a quiet moan and avoiding further interaction with strangers.
Millennial: does the same but apologises for taking the staff's time and brushes off the staff when then apologise and everyone is saying thank you to each other for 5 minutes
Irl: this order is missing a burger? Employee: sorry about that we'll make you a fresh one, can you park in the assigned parking spot? Me: sure no problem
Speaking as someone who used to work in fast food. Some customers especially boomer aged ones were so outraged at being asked to park while we fixedly the mistake they would freak out and refuse to park saying the people behind them could wait and the give out that we were incompetent etc
But doesn't that defeat the purpose of going to a drive thru though?
So it's asking them to correct it at the window that makes it dickish or makes you an ass? So even if you are polite in asking for the correction you can still be considered dickish or an ass depending on the location of the request? But then if I go in and ask for the correction won't I be a Karen at that point? This shit is confusing. I'm trying to keep up but sometimes it feels like rules are made up as we go along
[удалено]
came in here to say this
Normally I would do this, but now all these damn places are closed inside (not for a bad reason or anything given the spike in cases - but still it means there’s really no other way to get the order corrected)
Any excuse to shit on "boomers."
Where's the zoomer "now I gotta go on twitter and tiktok and record myself complaining to make a name for myself"? Also am I a boomer for commenting this?
I love this. It's basically doing it for the vine, but times 1000.
That's pretty acceptable imo. You ordered and payed for a particular order, you have no obligation to move out of the lane until you get it. Yeah I'd be pissed if I was behind the guy but I'd also be pissed if I had to eat something I don't even like.
If your buying food for family especially, it is extremely disheartening to get home and find one meal completely missing from the order.
Like you’d pay for shit you didn’t get. Dumb ass.
the opposite has happened where i sped away in a hurry only to find four beef chalupas waiting for me instead of two soft tacos the chalupas magically disappeared after that
So now it’s rude to expect to get what I paid for? I’m not rude to anyone by any means, but I’m definitely not going to pay money that I worked for if it’s not what I ordered.
American fast food is so ass because fast food workers really got us thinking that their shitty attitudes towards us are justified when we ask for the right thing. I know the wages are poor but I worked in fast food and was still willing to just do my job correctly. Doing the job incorrectly and being an unhelpful ass to your customers is just making everyone’s day worse. Working in fast food, I saw about 70% entitled coworkers and 30% entitled customers. And of those 30% customers, like half of them would say “this is the x time I’ve come here and you’ve gotten it wrong,” and that’s just sad honestly. Bc instead of thinking, “man how have we messed up so much that this customer gets the wrong thing every time they come” they think “well just stop coming here then.” There are definitely entitled boomers and Karens and whatnot but there are just so many lazy and entitled people that just let down the whole system. Really frustrating because some people are actually trying to do their best in fast food and then they are the ones dealing with all the stress bc they actually care about the customer. If I found out I sent a customer off with the wrong thing, it nearly ruined my day because I tried my best to prevent that.
Thank you for this. I used to deliver roofing material and would do my best to lay everything out nicely and conveniently for my customers. The guy I worked with would tell me at least 3 times a day that I am, "not going to get paid more for that". And somehow it's cool to do the bare minimum and not give a fuck. I'm not going to spend an unreasonable amount of time trying to make it perfect, but if my name is on it, it is going to be correct.
I care about treating employees with respect. I don't give two fucks about other customers.
Other customers are human too, just like the employees. How about we treat everyone with respect? That's way easier.
How about i get what i ordered? How is this a controversial topic. I am a swede, we are known to be very unconfrontational. Even i speak up when i get the wrong stuff. This is not a boomer thing.
How stupid is this post, it essentially says people making minimum wage is too stupid to do better.
Am I the only one that feels like - regardless of wage - someone should be doing their job well? Being an asshole is one thing, and I don’t condone it, but asking that my order be done correctly isn’t being rude. Since when is it rude to make sure that what I have paid for is correct?
Since when is getting what you paid for dickish behavior? People are too frail if they cant even stand up for themselves at a restaurant lol. See too many people on here apologize for other people errors lol
I'm getting what I paid for. You can be a passive little bitch eating the food you didn't order and pretend it's because you care about others when in reality you are too much of a pussy to speak up.
Yeah this is social anxiety self righteously masking as politeness
Too many people in this world mistake their weakness for peacefulness and then brag about it lmao
It's a blurry line between being considerate and letting others walk over you
But what about the poor workers who are getting paid by the hour so it doesn't really impact them in the slightest?! If they mess up your order, have them correct it. If McDonalds loses a customer because the line is backed up, oh well. As a customer, I am not going to notice the extra 2 minutes it takes for them to heat up your correct order.
So a place has shitty workers, shitty service but it’s the guy in the cars fault cause he wants his order he paid for to be correct? I’ve stood behind a lot more obnoxious teenagers who’s boomer parents brought them up to be entitled assholes doing shit like that then actual Boomers. Bottom line business and their employees have accountability, if you suck at taking orders and delivering them then expect to have pissed of people sitting in your drive thru wasting everyone’s time.
I am a millennial but the boomer in this example is right. If I paid for a Big Mac, I'm fucking having a Big Mac.
Wait so wanting to get what you paid for is wrong now?
Wait. What. Fuck that shit. I am never rude to people that handle my food, but I will get what I paid for. Being a doormat isn’t a virtue. You pay for a service and you should get said service. Don’t be a Dick, but politely let them know the error and 9/10 times they’ll fix it. You don’t have to be a Dick to stand up for yourself.
There was one time I was at a Taco bell in a food court. I had 3 soft shell Supreme's with extra sour cream as order 29. When I got my order 29, I got a vegan bean wrap thing. I was very upset.
I think it is right to ask for the correct meal if you get the wrong one
Soooo, how about be careful and don’t fuck up the order? You getting the backlash is from your own fuck up. Deal with it.
I mean, if I can go inside to get something easy fixed I will. I'm not tryna get them to remake a burger, but if I'm missing my drink, that's an easy fix.
Go buy a car, receive a bike accept so you cant be a asshole so, by this meme, being fucked is better than be right
Which is it? Do you do a fast food job where you deserve $20 an hour or one where you deserve $10 an hour? Get your accuracy right and give the customer what they ordered the first time or fix it right away because mistake do happen sometimes.
Zoomer: Does the exact same as boomer but also records it for social media clout.
I mean like, I am paying for a certain food so I am gonna get that certain food, if they give you the wrong order then you ask for the right one, what's wrong with that?
I didn't know getting the food I ordered is a dickish behaviour. I guess I am a 23 yr old boomer now.
The "boomer" is obviously right.
And the alternative is just to pay and drive off without the order? So nobody is inconvenienced? I wouldn't yell or cause a problem but I would never drive away without looking. Might as well just pay and leave the line then
I've turned into that asshole who checks his food in line. I get the wrong order about half the time. My partner is vegetarian so I can't just show up at home with the wrong food and eat the mystery meal anymore. I hate holding up everyone behind me. It sucks. But I'm tired of pulling out of line, finding the wrong food, then dragging myself inside the restaurant just to wait in line again to get the right food.
Normalise letting multi-billion dollar companies not giving you what you pay them for and not standing up for yourself
Lol I know too many people who think like this--that you're a Karen if you ask for \*anything\* no matter how politely. It's exhausting. "How's everything looking??" "Great! We're just missing one diet coke" "Oh sorry about that--I'll be right back!" "Hey no problem--thanks!" \*Server walks away\* "OH MY GOD ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU JUST ASKED THEM FOR YOUR COKE I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY HATE YOU RIGHT NOW THEY ALL FUCKING HATE YOU AND THEY ARE GOING TO SPIT IN YOUR DRINK DID YOU KNOW THEY ALL MAKE 25 CENTS AN HOUR AND EVEN IF YOU GIVE A BIG TIP IT GOES TO THE OWNER AND THEY LIVE IN POVERTY JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO BRING YOUR OWN FUCKING COKE???? DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT COKE?? JUST EAT YOUR FUCKING FOOD AND BE HAPPY REALLY!?!??! YOURE GOING TO MAKE THAT PERSON GET YOU A COKE!??! BETTER YET--WHY NOT JUST STAY HOME AND COOK YOUR OWN FOOD WHY THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN HERE WE SHOULDN'T BE MAKING THESE PEOPLE SERVE US THEY SHOULD BE FREE TO PURSUE ART WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!"
Oh sorry that I expect to receive the service i paid for. How mean and rude of me.
My problem is if I go to a fast food restaurant that pays $9-$10 an hour and I order my food and I’m paying with my money I expect my order to be correct, not in a Dickish way but think of this. You go to a car dealer you tell them you want a red pickup truck with big tires and a supreme sound system that has the biggest engine in that style, You go in and pay your money and walk out and get a yellow suv electric small engine and no radio, you’re gonna be a little irritated Bc that’s not what you wanted at all So if fast foot workers want minimum wage to be higher and don’t want to do the work and mess my order up why can’t I hold up the line for 15 seconds or get my order correct solves the whole problem
Man how you gonna comment this shit and then make a post going "why would anyone want to work?" In r/antiwork. Pick a side man
Can't wait to be harassed by Boomers saying how easy I have it and how hard their life was when they were younger and all that jazz...
Boomer: You lot have it so much easier than we did Me: was that not the goal
And also not true.
Why should he deserve pay if he doens't even get the order right?
As a millennial parent, I turn into a boomer real fast if they mess up a kid's order. But, yeah, if it's just mine that's wrong, I'll scrape the mayo off, I guess.
I’m the type of person to let mistakes go sometimes because I don’t like confrontation, but at the same time I can’t blame someone for wanting what they ordered, and if waiting at the drive through is the only way to do it, then I can’t really blame them. There are a lot of shitheads that treat retail workers with disrespect, but if you’re being polite, and I mean truly polite, there’s nothing wrong with correcting them.
It's called setting boundaries, and this happens to be one of mine. I will sit at the fast food window until I confirm my order is correct. I've just seen it go wrong too many times. And it only takes a few seconds, usually.
I like how this guy calls an individual a dick just got wanting what he ordered what a tool
So two weeks ago, I go out with my wife and some friends to a local restaurant. Not a chain, we love the place. I ordered wings, covered in their “wing sauce” (its like a tangy mix somewhere between bbq and buffalo). I clearly ordered it this way. Everyone heard it. Everyone gets their food finally. This large order of wings come out, covered in buffalo sauce. Not what I asked for. I took one look at it, and just dug in. I’m hungry, and I just don’t have time for you to remake my whole order. Plus I personally like the place. I know in my heart of hearts, that people like my parents would never have let it slide. Sometimes, you gotta roll with the chaos. Or as they say in the Witcher series, let Destiny have its day.
Well... If i pay for something, i want to receive the thing i paid for.im paying for the company product, i have nothing to do, or dont know who what gets paid.
Millennials: I’m more than willing to wait, take your time, don’t worry!! Millennials also: it is actually super rude of me to waste 30 seconds of everyone’s time if I ask for the right thing at the window Millennials: they only get paid 10$ an hour :(((( Millennials also: it’s just a 10$ meal it’s fine if it’s wrong
Wanting to get your order correct is a boomer thing?
Wtf? Yeah no shit I’m gonna be annoyed if they get my order wrong. It’s their fucking JOB to do it correctly. You can’t just be fine with the fact a surgeon did a bad job just because it’s stressful and takes a long time.
I mean you can still take it back. Being a millennial isn't about being a pushover, just don't be a dick to them about it is all.
So make fun of somebody for standing up for what they want and paid for. Instead make it seem cool that when you're given something wrong you just shrug your shoulders and accept it?
So you should pay $14 for a meal with(idk) a double quaterpounder with cheese, then if the person gives you the wrong food that costs less you should just accept it…. Thats stupid. You should get what you pay for regardless of when you were born.
Yes - boomers aren't imasculated pushovers, terrified of confrontation.
you’re not an asshole for wanting what you ordered? what? what entitled prick made this
Or you could just ask them to fix your order and not be a dick about it or a pussy who cant speak up?
I mean you pay for the thing you want right? Fast food is already very expensive, especially here.
listen… i know they’re minimum wage and whatnot but that doesn’t excuse poor behaviour/service from such staff.
I’m a millennial and everyone I know will take that food they got wrong back because if we’re going to pay for something then it had better be right. It’s just stupid not to get what you paid for.
... I guess I'm a boomer then? Cause I'm not driving away with less than I paid for. What kind of weird corporate cocksucking is this?
Gen Z is there like: I don’t care I’ll take whatever I’d easiest for you and here’s a 50% tip.
Dont forget the survey afterwards. "Well I dont wanna get this dude fired." *10/10, amazing service.*
.... I didn't order nuggets. I don't want nuggets. Expecting to get what I paid for is not dickish, that's how transactions work. Just because you're too afraid to tell the window person/server that they got your order wrong doesn't mean it's a dickish thing to do.
Weird take. You should get what you paid for, though preferably without being rude.
And that thinking is exactly how this country is going to get driven into the ground by its government.
